Trump Criticizes Putin, Approves Increased Weapons Support Ukraine

News summary

President Donald Trump expressed strong dissatisfaction with Russian President Vladimir Putin over the ongoing war in Ukraine, describing the conflict as "killing a lot of people" on both sides and criticizing Putin's handling of peace negotiations as insincere and unproductive. Trump admitted that efforts to persuade Putin to end the war have been more difficult than anticipated, despite his prior expectations of a quick resolution. In a notable policy shift, Trump reversed a recent Pentagon-led pause on sending critical defensive weapons to Ukraine, approving new shipments to support Kyiv amid escalating Russian attacks. Trump also highlighted the bravery of Ukrainian forces and reaffirmed his commitment to providing them with advanced military equipment. His tone toward Putin has grown increasingly harsh, reflecting frustration after Putin rejected his calls for a ceasefire and peace talks. These developments illustrate Trump's evolving stance on the conflict since returning to office, as he navigates complex diplomatic and military challenges involving Russia and Ukraine.
